The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766 

Xander paused for a moment and then glanced at Melanie. “It’s okay, Liana and Xavier are here. Besides, it’s almost over anyway. If I return to the house, we might end up arguing again.” 

Melanie did not dare ask about the Solomon family. Despite her initial refusal, Xander insisted on escorting her. 

Compared to the atmosphere in the southern part of the city, the Christmas atmosphere in the north was much more vibrant. The streets were adorned with all sorts of decorations. 

Xander escorted her to her doorstep and prepared to leave. 

Melanie was about to head home when she heard Xander call out to her. She turned around to see Xander standing under a street lamp. The warm glow of the lamp made his eyes particularly gentle. He looked at Melanie, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” 

Just then, fireworks exploded outside, drowning out his voice. Melanie looked at Xander in confusion, wondering what he had just said. Apart from ‘Merry Christmas‘, she also saw Xander saying something else, but she could not hear it. 

Xander was also taken aback. He looked up at the sky and opened his mouth as if to speak, but then he just chuckled. When he looked back at Melanie, his eyes were full of mirth. “It’s nothing. I wish you a merry Christmas and all the best,” he said with a smile. 

Back inside her house, the fireworks were still going off outside while her phone continued to buzz with notifications. Putting her things down, Melanie recalled the gift Xander had given her and decided to open it. 

Inside was a small peace charm along with some money. Melanie was stunned by its design. It was the same type as the one her grandfather had given her before, Melanie pursed her lips and carefully put the charm away. 

The vacation Burning Star Studio organized was set to begin on the eighth day of the following month. Melanie had packed her bags the night before and headed to the airport early in the morning to meet up with Xander. They flew directly to Prime City and reached by noon, which was when they met up with the others. 

They planned to spend a week in Prime City, and everyone was excited, especially Reny. She eagerly pulled Melanie aside to take photos. Suddenly, Melanie’s phone rang, forcing her to step aside to answer the call. It was from a client, and after a brief conversation, she ended the call. 

As she returned to the group, she noticed several familiar figures–Cedric, Stella, Peyton, and Evelyn. However, Eugene was nowhere to be seen. Given Xander had previously met Cedric at the birthday party, it was only natural for him to greet them.
